The first-place Cleveland Guardians wrapped up a 5-1 road trip with a win against the Toronto Blue Jays. As noted by Tom Hamilton just before the Cleveland Clinic Cleveland Guardians Radio Network Post-Game Wrap-Up Show, it is unusual for the youngest team in baseball to perform as the Guardians continue to.
The following are observations regarding the nature of this team that are made by many, but for the sake of generating a run-on sentence AND collecting all of them in one place, allow me to note that this team:
- Routinely handles road trips, double-headers, postponements, and other scheduling SNAFUs with relative ease;
- Refuses to quit, balk, or back down against supposedly superior and certainly more experienced teams;
- Continues to pull Rookies up from the minor leagues and receive real contributions, a trend that continues tomorrow with the debut of Xzavion Curry;
all of which adds up to the most exciting team in Major League Baseball.
